AT&T’s Telly-winning “Rethink Possible” Campaign

As much as I describe myself as “behind-the-scenes” – and it is truly where I feel most comfortable – there have been an increasing number of moments when I’ve played in front of the camera. Part of this has been the result of our digital age that turns writers into “online editors” and editors into “content officers,” and part of this is my great love for doing celebrity interviews.

When asked to write & host a series of sit-downs with some inspiring folks including singer/entertainer Tyrese Gibson, playwright Lynn Nottage, personality Mario Armstrong and activist Jennifer Jones-Austin, I agreed right away, and stayed committed even after they dressed me in a tight 3-button suit!

It turned out really nice, aired throughout the AT&T U-Verse platform for over a year, and won my colleagues and I our first Telly Award for “Most Inspiring.”
